Re: Defining user abbreviations

[Ole Schmidt]

rb = { \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 }
lb =  { \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 }

and than:

g32[ a b \rb c \lb d c b a]

"The name of an identifier should have alphabetic characters only: no  
numbers, underscores,
or dashes. The assignment should be outside of running music."

see also:  "2.18 Organizing larger pieces" in the manual

hope that helps
